Matthews In 8th
By JACK HEWINS
SEATTLE IB Burly Don Cockell
dreamed Saturday of an early
whack at Rocky Marciano and the
World's heavyweight title after his
lethal fists -- with an assist irom
a slipped sacroiliac-dlsposed of
Harry "Kid" Matthews Friday
night in the eighth stanza of a
scheduled 10-round fight.
Matthews, unable to stand erect
because of his damaged back,
could not come out for the eighth
against the British Empire cham
pion, who outweighed him 210 !ii
pounds to lbo.
Cockell had the edge all the way
and the crowd of 10,478. which
paid $91,000 to see the somewhat
sour finish, though it was his head
hunting attack which left Mat
thews heloless. The 32 - year - old
Seattle Kid was bleeding at mouth,
nose and ear as he slumped to h-s
stool at the end of the seventh.
Actually, he said later, the dam
age was done in the third round
when he threw a right at Cockell,
who was shrugging off everything
the Kid could toss. .
"It was a helpless feeling." he
said. "I couldn't move fast and
Eet out of tne way oi w ras
j punches."
The clouter from London, lor
whom this was a third triumph
over the same enemy, felt this
was his best light of the three.
But it was, he added, "a bit of
bad luck" to have it end the way
it did. "We were going, along
nicely when it happened."
He did take what he called "one
solid blow" In the fourth round.
The poke opened a cut over his
left eye, but the damage was not
serious. He took command from
the start and Referee James J.
Braddock, former heavyweight
champion, called the first round
a draw and gave all the rest to
Cockell.
The Associated Press card gave
the third round to Matthews but
went along with Braddock on the

others. In, that heat the Seattle
scrapper used a left jab to outbox

Cockell all but. disregarded the
boyd attack that won him two pre
vious decisions over Matthews. He
was gunning for the Jaw all the
way, always moving in on the K"id
and landing with bolh rights and
lefts after tho third round.
Matthews went down In the fifth,
half slipping as he avoided a
punch, and It was not considered
a knockdown. There were no other
trips to the canvas, although Cock
ell staggered his lighter enemy
several times and had him sag
ging on the ropes in the late
rounds,

Only four of the 16 major league
clubs gained ground in the pennant
laces in July, but neither the New
York Giants nor the Cleveland In
dians were able to strengthen their
first place positions.
The Indians, ill fact, have lost
half u game of the edge they held
30 days ago. The New York Yan
kees, one of the four clubs which
improved, replaced Chicago as
Cleveland's closest pursuer and
moved from four games behind to
2'j, pending today's action.
The Giants sailed into July lead
ing Brooklyn by three lengths. On
the last day of the mouth they
still are three in front of the
Doc'.sers.
The major change in the Nation
al League standings involved third
place. Philadelphia, third a month
uro. won only 10 of 30 games and
skidded all tile way to sixth. Mil
waukee pulled up from fourth, 12
games back, to third, only nine
games behind the Giants.
The Brjives represent a threat
of unknown proportions. They ran
their current winning streak to
eight last night with a solid 9-3
triumph over Brooklyn and have
three more games with the Dodg
ers and three with the Giants com
ing up in the next 10 days.
St. Louis moved from sixth to
fourth but doesn't figure to go
much higher. Boston pulled up
from last to sixth in the American
League with five games separating
the Red 8ox from,flrst division.
Padres Aim
For Coast
League Lead
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hollywood and San Diego start
i five-game "crooshul" series Sat
urday afternoon in San Diego.
First place in the Pacitlc Coast
League standing is in the balance,
and San Diego, being 2 ia games
behind the Stars, will have to
take four out of five to gain the
lead.
Right on the eve of tho series
came the announcement that Pitts
burgh has sent right-hand pitcher
George O'Donnell to Hollywood on
option. He arrives in San Diego
Saturday and is to pitch one of
Sunday's two games.
O'Donnell was the rookie of 1953
1 1 the PCL. He won 20 and lost
12 for Hollywood last year. His
record with Pittsburgh is 3-9.
Bud Daley pitched Sacramento
to a 5-3 decision over Oakland Fri
day night and the Oaks dropped
into third 'place behind San Fran
cisco, which put on a late inning
comeback to down Seattle, 5-4, in
tho nightcap, after losing the op
ener of a doubleheadcr, 6-1.
Daley gave up eight his but;
scattered them as he registered
his seventh win against six de
feats. The Sacs drove Oeorgc
Bamberger from the mound In the
third inning with a three-run rally.
Carl Schcib, a pitcher, was the 1
big noise at Los Angeles' Wrlgley j
Field as Portland whipped the
Angels the rest of the way, and
In the seventh he smacked a home
run with two mates on base. This
was tho big punch, for the Ports
were trailing 4-2 at the time.
